About Us

Hello and welcome to the Learning Tech Support Center. This website is the central portal for all of our service offerings, including searchable knowledge bases of support documents, access to our workstation reservation and workshop registration calendars, announcements about upcoming events and much more. Visit our site early and often, because we will be adding new content and features on a regular basis. If you are looking for help documents, simply type a keyword into the search box that appears at the top of every page.

With this website, we seek to break down the barriers that separate us, and create a community that shares ideas and collaborates on a variety of exciting new projects. We encourage you to comment on our help documents, and provide us with comments and suggestions via our short feedback survey. And coming soon, you will be able to collaborate directly with others UCSF students, faculty and staff in our user forum. Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to our Convergence blog and follow us on Twitter!

Thank you for visiting our Support Center, and we look forward to working with you soon.
